Reminder: You can’t bring cannabis to BottleRock

You bought an expensive ticket, planned your outfit and supplies, and waited in a long festival line. Now you find yourself on the cusp of entering BottleRock — only to be denied at the gate. Why? Because you were caught with cannabis in your bag.

BottleRock Napa Valley starts today (Friday) with some 80 musical acts from Muse to the Chainsmokers to E-40. It’s a huge festival and, as you might imagine, there are rules on what you can bring into the event.

One man said his friend was denied entry after he tried (and failed) to bring weed into the festival. The punishment? The man tweeted that his friend had to toss the cannabis, then wait through the festival line again.

Just got in to #BottleRock and my friend Dan (behind me in line) got busted trying to sneak in weed and got thrown out. I have no idea what to do now but it was hilarious.

UPDATE: Dan put his weed in a glasses case and stuck it down the front of his pants. Set off the metal detector. They asked if he had a belt buckle. He lifted up his shirt and the glasses case was sticking out the top of his pants. #amateur
